Abstract: A meter collar adapter may include an upper assembly having a housing to protect inner electrical components from adverse environmental conditions and a lower assembly to house electrical components, one or more conductors that pass through at least the lower assembly. Each conductor includes a first end to electrically interface with a meter socket and a second end to electrically interface with an electrical meter. The meter collar adapter further includes thermally conductive heat sinks to transfer heat from the lower assembly.

Abstract: An interface to an electric vehicle or comparable energy storage system, paired with a utility electric power meter or meter collar adaptor with embedded control and whole-site disconnect switch that, when operated together, enables the user to: isolate the site from the grid during a power outage and use the vehicle or energy storage system to provide power to the site; manually reclose the disconnect switch to the grid only when safe operating conditions are met; allow a remote grid-operator to manage charging of the vehicle; and prevent the utility service from being overloaded when proving power to the residence and the meter adaptor loads simultaneously.

Abstract: A meter socket adapter may include an integrated whole-building disconnect switch configured to disconnect a building associated with the meter socket adapter from a utility grid, a distributed energy resource (DER) interface to connect a distributed energy resource (DER), and an energy management system (EMS) configured to monitor electrical current passing through the meter socket adapter and, based on the monitored current, actuate the whole-building disconnect switch.

Abstract: A system includes a meter socket adapter (MSA) to electrically connect a meter socket and a utility meter, electrical contacts to electrically connect the MSA to the meter socket and the utility meter, and a data circuit to measure an electrical load through the MSA, and a pluggable assembly coupled to the MSA, the pluggable assembly including a housing to be coupled to the MSA housing, at least one of a set of power interface connectors extending from the housing into the MSA housing to connect to the MSA electrical contacts and a data interface connector extending from the housing to removably connect to the MSA data circuit, and at least one of an electrical circuit interface to electrically connect the set of power interface connectors to the electrical circuit and a data circuit interface to electrically connect the data interface connector to the data circuit.
